Mega Thread The 2013 MLB World Series (Boston Red Sox World Champiuons)

[Bomber Bears]

Peavy starting instead of Bucholtz in game three, with Bucholtz having shoulder soreness. With an average starting rotation that's the last thing the Sox would need.

Wacha has to pitch this game almost perfectly for the Cards to win, their offense couldn't bring anything home last night so their confidence has to be down.

If Boston win this game and take a 2-0 lead I can't see this series going more than 6 games, it may even end in St Louis, so I'm hoping the Cards can get a win here and make a series of it.

dont agree their confidence must be blown, they got on base enough to score. They are swinging the bats alright. Plus different pitcher means last nights game is irrelevant.

that Ortiz kid goes alright

 

[The_Todd07]

BIG PAPI!!!!!!

 

[NSWCROW]

oops....

 

[no orange peeler]

Never write the Cards off.

 

[NSWCROW]

Boston strong and dem feels

 

[Ram-Man]

Great come back by the Cards to take Game 2 .

 

[Pykie]

Awesome save from Rosenthal, seriously impressive young closer.

Cards have a great young ballpen, ages of the three pitchers tonight, 22, 22, 23.

 

[Cousin Jed]

Cards have all the momentum! series over! no way back! blah blah blah

 

[no orange peeler]

Imo red sox need to win 2 on the road. Potentially no Ortiz due to no DH.

 

[FRUMPY]

both games have had costly errors. good to see cards win, makes the series that more interesting tied 1-1. Sox would like a win in either of first 2 games in St Louis.

 

[lionbear]

Cards have the advantage now, best of 5 series with home field advantage.

But Red Sox have to feel confident, both nights they got their premier two pitches to 100+ in under 6 innings, and Wacha even though he got the W, was 2-1 down when he pitched his final pitch for the night. To get a second look at him in a week, they would have to feel confident of doing better second time around.

Cards young Bullpen did great, but an experienced side like the Red Sox could expose them later in the series getting so many looks at them over 7 games they could break them one night.

This series I think will be coming back to Boston, its 50/50, bring on Sunday morning!!!!!!

What do Boston do with Ortiz? Just use him to pinch hit for three games? Play him at first?

 

[lionbear]

Pinch hit him, don't upset your defensive balance.

I think both the Tigers and Rangers have made that error the last few years.

 

[Cousin Jed]

He'll be playing first.

 

[lionbear]

He'll be playing first.

Is Napoli going to pinch hit?

 

[Pykie]

Is Napoli going to pinch hit?

Pretty evident by the interviews with Napoli that Ortiz s going to play 1st in STL.

 

[no orange peeler]

Pretty evident by the interviews with Napoli that Ortiz s going to play 1st in STL.

Not according to the manager in his presser. Guess we'll wait and see. Even if Napoli pinch hits he would only get 1 at bat.

Woeful start for Peavy.

 

[Cousin Jed]

That Iglesias for Peavy deal worked out well.

Iglesias botched up 2 plays to hand us games in the LCS and Peavy completely sucks handing up games

 

[mattys123]

Sox not out of this one yet, Peavy starting to get in a groove, only 2 runs down, the next few innings will tell us a lot.

 

[mattys123]

Peavy somehow gets out of a no out bases loaded jam, this is fun to watch.

Sox hanging in there.

 

[Cousin Jed]

Got to love having the pitcher hit

 

[FRUMPY]

massive job by peavy with bases loaded and none out.
